Little Penang

Among a troupe of great Malaysi-
an places, teeny tiny Little Penang steals the show with its fresh-flavoured, often-fiery
street food. Pick a yummy curry for your

eggy, nutty, saucy stuff, or go for the bargain eight-buck
nasi goreng

yummy curry puffs. Aim to avoid the lunchtime rush.
